Look at the loverly snow

I'm getting Steady Shot worked into my routine - my dps is now around 50% higher.For those of you looking for hunter tips, the rotation with AotH is something like:Serpent Sting, Arcane, Steady, Steady, Arcane, Steady, Steady, Arcane etc.though obviously it depends a lot on aggro, any adds that come in, mana usage and the like.If mana gets too low I'll switch to AotV and basically spam Steady Shot. It's slow to take them down and the extra mana used reduces the rate you regain it but it keeps up a steady pace and I mostly use it as an alternative to downtime - I hardly ever do downtime, I'd rather spend a few extra arrows in an extended fight than sit and drink for 30 seconds.Bear in mind I'm 0/0/0 spec, my rotation may not suit your clearly totally OP spec :)

Winterspring has been really good fun. At the beginning of the level I spent an hour or two levelling up mining and engineering again (mostly in Arathi), which went well but still isn't up to the zones I'm in so I'll be doing some more soon.

"Are We There, Yeti?" is one of my favourite quests, even without skinning (though the skinning really does add to it :). For some reason yeti slaying is just much more satisfying than a lot of other mobs. Don't ask me why, it just is :)

I spent the last hour of the level flying around both continents handing in remote quests as parts of chains started elsewhere. Not highly entertaining, but it gives me time to work on other things while I wait for the flights. Apparently I should be playing bejewelled :)

Then I logged out and in to get my free Baby Blizzard Bear.It's very cute, has an oversize head and everything!Level: 54Location: Everlook, Winterspring/played: 5 days, 3 hours, 56 minutesTheme: MC Hammer - Can't Touch This

I think they've adjusted the drop rate and the respawn rate, I remember being very unlucky first time around when the person with me got all 10 fur and I still had only 2. This time I reckon I had to kill only 20 mobs to get it.
